FAA Investigating Plane that Went Off End of Runway After Landing at Chicago Executive Airport
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a private Gulfstream G150 jet with two aboard overran a wet runway, causing delays but no injuries, officials said.
- A Gulfstream G150 private jet veered off the end of runway 34 upon touchdown at Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling on Wednesday around 12:30 p.m.
- The plane had just landed from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and touched down roughly halfway down the 5,000-foot wet runway during light rain.
- The jet continued past the runway end, crossed a special emergency deceleration surface, crashed through the airport fence, and landed on Hintz Road, closing eastbound lanes at Wolf Road.
- Both people on board were unharmed, and the airport remained closed as crews worked to remove the aircraft; the FAA is conducting an investigation into the incident.
- Emergency responders arrived promptly after being directed by air traffic control, while the runway condition and weather likely contributed to the incident at Chicago Executive Airport.
